You will have to the Rhino below the seat. The cut out in the seat is not wide enough.

Phave you got this one? how thick is that part of the seat?
RI have the Boeing edition, which is the same as this seat, except color and branding. By thickness, do you mean the height of the seat cushion?
Pyeah, how thick is the seat coushion where the cutout is, if not too much trouble how big is the cut out too?
Pcheers for you're help
RI'll let you know the exact dimensions once I get back to my office. I won't be able to get you the original cut out width, as I already cut mine. But from what I remember, it was relatively easy as long as you have a long serrated knife (or even better, one of those hot foam cutter). The cushion cover is velcroed, so the foam is easy to access.
Poh that's good the foam is easy to get too, I'll take it too "Clark foam & rubber" if I have too, oooh I could get the whole foam thing cut right down, then have room for the HF8 with a gel type foam over top???? 
RYep, you can definitely do that - in fact, I am planning to do that if/when I get the HF8.
Plikely tomorrow I'm going to order the; TR160, NLR Flight seat & the NLR HF8. I saved for the 4080, but thethere were no sales at end of year plus 4080 super is coming out in a few weeks now & I wana see the real price here in Aus, I mean I can run my games/sims atm fine, I have shit/ no real mounts through, so going to get this stuff instead & re save for either the 4080 super, or 4090. Cheers for your help m8
RWith all the improvements to teleFFB there hasn’t been a firmware update that I’ve missed is there? I went to the website and just confirmed I’ve got the latest from where it looks like September was the last update.
RHere you go. Looks like it's around 140mm thick. Also, notice the steel seat pan also has a cut out - depending on how you are mounting your rhino, you may need to cut/grind a bigger opening.

Pcheers m8, thanks for those pics, one last thing, how far back is that metal plate from the seat edge, is it the same size as the foam cut out or in it a bit bigger? Thanks again m8
Poh sorry, I see the last pic is the bottom of the seat, the metal part you were refering too, cheers
Pit's covered by material is it?
Pwhat sort of extension do you use?
RYou mean the seat pan? Yes, it's covered with that black fabric. That's glued in, so it's a little anoying if you are drilling through it (drill bits will bind and may even break).
Pahh ok, can hopefully cut the material & use glue to stop it threading apart, or if it's the right type of material can burn a small hole for drill
Phopefully I can undo the black material from the seat pan, cut the cut out a bit bigger then re-glue the fabric in place
P& did I understand correct that the seat cushion cover comes off?
RI built my own gimbal. The extension is just enough so that the grip clears my thighs.
Pie. the green & black cover on the seat
RYes the cushion cover is velcroed it comes right off.
Poh you cut it out so the whole rhino base fits in? ok, my rhino will still be 'floor' mounted & only the extension coming up to the cut out
PI see the velcro on the seat pan material for the seat cushion, but sorry to ask again just to be sure the actual cover material on the seat cushion itself, does that come off to reveal the foam underneath? sry to ask again just wana be clear
Plikely ordering things tomorow morning
RHere is how it’s mounted. My gimbals size is smaller than the rhino and the way I had it mounted I didn’t have to cut the steel seat pan, just the cushion. YMMV
RYep it’s right off.
Pperfect thanks m8
Palmost like it was made for us do cut it larger
Pthey should of made the cut out in the seat pan over sized for that reason too
Pok I think I've got the best idea about that seat I'll get without it here, cheer for all the help m8

Pplaning on getting that pit; TR160, the green marking was me trying to show my m8 how I'll make an adjustable Rhino mount
Pon the inside walls put some 160x40 profile mounted vertically then between them a 160x40 'laying flat', that should give adjustments in both directions horizontal & vertical
Pthat pit, plus the nlr seat & hf8
PI need to talk to pagani tomorrow & ask about the specs for the seat mounts
RYeah, if you don't have any hang ups on modding it as soon as you get it, it's really not a difficult task as long as you have some basic tools
PI'd say it'd be different to how your's does as it's the standalone version
Preally considering taking the foam base to a foam & rubber shop & getting it cut for the hf8 & a gel/mem foam topper, I don't have any meat on my arse lol
Rhaha it's really not that difficult. I got a turkey cutter knife, and it went through the foam quite easily.
Phow far back does it recline? enough for laying back a bit?
RIt reclines quite a bit, you don't have ot worry about that.
Ror do you mean slide back? it slides about 5-6 inches
Poh yeah, just to make the cut out bigger I'll diy with a big bread knife, but I may go as far as the mem foam/hf8 cut out mod, I have heard ppl say the jetseat/hf8 can get a bit sore after a while
Pyeah I meant how far will it recline back, gotta be able to lay back after a flight & watch YT lol
Pdid you diy that f16 throttle grip & base?
Rit will recline up to 122 degrees
Ryep
Pvery nice, did you do any type of "lifting the grip" detent system
Ryeah, it has the lift the grip syste, it's reversed, underneath the grip instead.
